Rank And Responsibility. Or: The Hairpin Scene from Jinshi's POV.

Be warned now about the consequences of choosing to do an English Lit degree - you end up doing lit crit for fun. With that in mind, let's break down the hairpin scene at the end of Covert Operations (Episode 5). Mild spoilers for Jinshi's arc are below.

While this moment does kick off the romantic subplot, with all the implications that giving Maomao the hairpin out of his own hair has, I would argue that this is not the moment Jinshi realizes he's in love with Maomao. Instead, from his point of view, this scene demonstrates how Jinshi handles failure.

Holding Power In An Open Palm

This is still very early in the story. Our first hint to Jinshi's true rank does come in this scene, but for now we know him as the manager of the Rear Palace. For the three thousand people who live and work there, for all intents and purposes, Jinshi is the highest authority they will encounter. He literally has the power of life and death over them, either directly in the case of the servants and eunuchs, or in the case of the consorts, his word to the Emperor directly can serve the same purpose. We also see Jinshi use this power early on - he's not just there to keep order, but also to test the consorts' loyalties and virtue. We never see what happens to the lower-ranked consort who attempted to invite Jinshi back to her room, but at the very least that report ensures that her already small chance of the Emperor choosing her as a potential mother of the nation is utterly cut off - and if she doesn't bear children, she will be discarded.

We also know that Jinshi will not hesitate to order corporal punishment if he views it necessary - for example, when Maomao discovers that the toxic face powder is still being used by Consort Lihua's ladies in waiting, she mentions in the aftermath that the eunuch who failed to recover the powder was flogged, while the lady in waiting who hid the powder is put in solitary confinement. These are brutal punishments - and if we consider the historical inspirations, these are also very restrained consequences. For hiding an item that caused the death of the prince (unfortunately, the more valuable child) and has put the life of one of the Emperor's favored High Consorts in danger, Jinshi would be utterly within his rights to order executions. If ignorance is a sin, ignorance in the face of knowledge is a greater one.

Microcosm of Li

For all that Jinshi holds his power lightly, he also takes the responsibility that power bestows upon him quite seriously. It's worth noting that Jinshi takes over governing the Rear Palace shortly after Maomao's service contract is purchased. (Remember, Xiaolan talks about the "beautiful, new eunuch that's been posted to the central courtyard," which tells us that Jinshi has not been in the Rear Palace long enough to become a fixture - he's an object of speculation and admiration from episode 1).

In context it's clear that, with the birth of two Imperial children, his job is to ensure the survival of the Imperial line and investigate why children of the Emperor are dying consistently in one of the wealthiest and safest places in the entire empire. We're shown him running in between Lady Lihua and Lady Gyokuyou to ensure that their very sick children are being seen to properly, investigating what could be causing it, while also managing tensions as rumors about the Emperor's children being cursed begin to spread and outright accusations of sorcery are being thrown between consorts. While the audience might immediately scoff along with Maomao at the idea of one consort cursing another, if Maomao hadn't found the cause of death, those types of accusations followed by Lady Lihua's and Princess Lingli's inevitable deaths could have ended with Lady Gyokuyou's execution.

The Rear Palace is a reflection of the nation as a whole. No Imperial heirs plus the deaths of two High Consorts with various foreign and domestic political ties had the potential to thrust the entire nation into chaos. Jinshi's choices have very real consequences, so when Maomao discovers what the true cause of death is and sends her warning, Jinshi looks at Maomao and doesn't see a person. He sees a "perfect pawn." A tool, one with talents that have ensured that at least one Imperial child has survived and providing a rational explanation why these children have died so that it can be prevented from happening again - and a skill set that can be turned to preventing any more shenanigans in the Rear Palace that could threaten the empire's foundation.

And, as Gaoshun points out, in the beginning of the hairpin scene, she is a toy. Maomao amuses Jinshi up until this point.

For all that Jinshi is shown wielding power with a light hand and a responsible mindset, it literally doesn't occur to him that the people working in the rear palace have stories - some tragic - about how they came to be there. They are resources to be used as befits the Emperor's (and therefore the nation's) need.

Hidden Beauty

When Maomao turns around and Jinshi doesn't recognize her until she speaks, he's shocked. He thought he knew exactly who and what this girl was - ugly and unremarkable, except for her intellectual brilliance and the challenge in managing her by other means than empty compliments and smiles. He attempts to recover and assumes that she is enhancing her looks - and is shocked again when he realizes that the face Maomao has presented to him so far is a protective mask against attracting attention. In a world where beauty is both a currency and a tool that others covet, Jinshi doesn't understand why Maomao would deliberately devalue herself like that. So she tells him.

This is the moment Maomao becomes a person to Jinshi.

Not a toy, not a pawn. Someone who has been ripped from her home and her life illegally and sold off. It's in this moment that Jinshi is forced to confront the ugly side of the society he lives in, people who would rape Maomao out of pure convenience or just take a "borderline marketable" girl off the street in order to get extra drinking money.

Worse, Jinshi is complicit in Maomao's captivity. The Rear Palace has bought her contract - and as the manager of the Rear Palace, Jinshi is responsible for everything that happens within its' walls. The fact that Jinshi does not personally oversee service contracts is irrelevant. The buck stops with him. If the Matron of the Serving Women or whoever is below her is buying these contracts without checking their sources, that is Jinshi's fault because he has allowed a lax enough system to flourish. He has failed to govern this microcosm of the nation wisely, with thought for the welfare of the least powerful among his people. Worse, he has failed to even notice the problem - Maomao may say she's angry about having been kidnapped and sold, but she doesn't react in a way that indicates anger. Instead, she's resigned. Yes, what happened to her was wrong and she's angry about it, but there's literally nothing she or Jinshi can do.

Or Is There?

Jinshi offers Maomao two apologies, the first of which is our first hint to his true status. "I'm sorry we couldn't police them better." Maomao immediately blows off this apology - she points out that there's no way Jinshi should have known and has a very "all's well that ends well" attitude about her situation - her contract will be up eventually and in the meantime she's managed to land in a fulfilling role. Essentially Maomao is telling Jinshi that this apology is not his to make - he's overstepping his responsibility. And, if Jinshi were simply the manager of the Rear Palace, she would be right. It's his job to ensure that the Rear Palace is properly staffed, not to regulate that all contracts comply with the law.

Jinshi apologizes again. This time, he offers no other context. He doesn't accept Maomao's absolution of responsibility - because he knows (even if we, the audience, don't) otherwise. It can certainly be read as Jinshi refusing to accept easy absolution, and the rest of those witnessing the scene, apart from Gaoshun, certainly take it that way.

Instead, he takes the hair stick from his own hair and places it in Maomao's. Their entire relationship has just been upended; Maomao is a person who has been gravely wronged and it is Jinshi's responsibility to begin to make it right. Aside from the personal implications of giving her the hairpin (and the faint blush on his face makes it clear that he's aware of them), it is a form of restitution. There is an unspoken social contract Jinshi is offering that Maomao does not understand in the slightest. It never occurs to her that Jinshi would do something for her with no thought of what he would receive in return, because of the difference in their social ranks. But, from Jinshi's perspective, that social difference is the point. He has failed her and, as the person of higher rank, it is his responsibility to do what is within his power to begin to remedy the situation in front of him.

And, of course, in that moment he sees Maomao in a new light, the other meaning of gifting her his hairpin has fertile ground to take root in Jinshi's mind.

[fategoflatass]

I feel like this is the closest to domestic bliss that we'll be getting when it comes to these two (besides the lap napping scene), yet it doesn't fail to contain Maomao not understanding the basics of human feelings (at least, when it comes to love). Which is endearing and frustrating at the same time, although that's what you could get when you raise a child without the proper emotional support.

Which also makes me think of how similar yet different they are from each other: in one hand, you have a guy who was most probably (haven't reached that part yet) raised without an ounce of love (or, at least, not as much as a kid his age needed) and taught to see people, and thus himself, as tools what are not worth getting attached to. Thus, he grew up with this bottomless hole inside of him that seeks to be filled by this one girl he's obssesed with because she gets to see through his façade, yet she won't give him the time of the day.

On the other, you have this same girl who grew up without proper parenting from her parents and whose feelings and emotional needs were ignored by the courtesans in favour of their labour. This would lead to her adapting to the circumstances and thus becoming a seemingly emotionless person who has a hard time expressing her feelings or understanding others'.

Both of them are victims of their circumstances. Circumstances of which the adults had full resposibility of, yet they decided those kids' well-being was the second, third or even last priority. They were innocent children at that time, yet they have to pay the broken plates.

𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇: The so called "Hippocratic Oath" is really a stolen legacy from Egypt. The Egyptians - not the ancient Greeks - were the true fathers of medicine. The research team from the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology at The University of Manchester discovered the evidence in medical papyri written in 1,500BC - some 1,000 years before Hippocrates was born. Records show that a man by the name of Imhotep was treating ill patients with modern techniques many generations before Hippocrates appearance in history.

Imhotep, not Hippocrates is the first physician known by name in written history. Imhotep lived during the Third Dynasty at the court of King Zoser. Imhotep was a known scribe, chief lector, priest, architect, astronomer and magician (medicine and magic fell under this category.) For 3000 years he was worshipped as a god in Greece and Rome. When the Greeks conquered Egypt they recognized in his contributions and adopted his methodologies in their medicine, and continued to build temples to him.

The Encyclopedia Britannica says, "The evidence afforded by Egyptian and Greek texts support the view that Imhotep's reputation was respected in early times. His prestige increased with the lapse of centuries and his temples in Greek times were the centers of medical teachings."

you can't tell me no

[epikaizo-2020]

I didn't know such a condition even existed. But Jesus Christ is Lord over all. Glory to God. 👇🏽 Praise Jesus. My name is Wangui Veronica. I want to testify about being delivered from PICA Syndrome (eating book papers specifically) after struggling with it for a whole 8 years. Since 2013 I had issues of hormonal imbalances which made me bleed continuously during my monthlies and in the process I used to lose a lot of blood and so I became anemic. After a short while I developed an eating disorder where I would eat book papers a lot and I wouldn't go for a day without. I was on treatment in KNH and Chogoria hospital too and the gynaes prescribed iron supplements but they didn't stop the eating disorder, because they explained that the disorder was a result of iron deficiency. It has been an embarrassing issue for me but on the 18th April 2021 I decided to text PFA about it and he prayed for me for deliverance and as of today the 28th April 2021 it has been a whole week plus and I have never craved for any paper yet I've been using my books on a daily basis. I give God all the glory. Thank you! https://www.facebook.com/161582470920698/posts/1116582842087318/ https://www.instagram.com/p/COOXcbUJ5Zo/?igshid=iychnd1dhhc4

Top 10 mẫu CV đẹp gây ấn tượng mạnh với nhà tuyển dụng

Mẫu 1 

Mẫu CV đẹp 1

Đây là một mẫu hồ sơ rất tuyệt vời với tông màu đất thanh lịch, độc đáo được thiết kế bằng phần mềm thiết kế AI. Cách hiển thị cùng bố cục của nó tạo cảm giác dễ đọc và dễ dàng tiép nhận thông tin hơn với từng tiêu đề, thông tin được phân chia bằng kiểu chữ, size chữ…

Mẫu 2 

Mẫu CV này thuộc về một ứng cử viên trong lĩnh vực design, thiết kế sáng tạo 

Mẫu CV với hình ảnh đậm và sắc nét này giúp bạn dễ dàng giới thiệu bản thân và kỹ năng của mình một cách nhanh chóng đến các nhà tuyển dụng. Bên cạnh đó, một bí quyết để CV của bạn trở nên hấp dẫn hơn đó chính là bạn thiết kế vào các yếu tố liên quan đến năng lực cũng như chuyên môn của bạn để người đọc dễ hình dung hơn.

Mẫu 3

Đây là mẫu CV được thiết kế theo phong cách tối giản, không có quá nhiều chi tiết rườm rà, phức tạp và chủ ý ưu tiên nhiều không gian trống để tạo cảm giác thoải mái, dễ chịu cho người đọc.

Thông thường, các nhà tuyển dụng sẽ phải đọc hàng trăm thậm chí đến hàng ngàn CV mỗi ngày (đối với các doanh nghiệp lớn, tuyển dụng nhân viên với số lượng lớn), vì vậy việc thiết kế mẫu CV đẹp theo phong cách đơn giản chính là một chiến lược hiệu quả giúp nhà tuyển dụng chú ý và xem kĩ hơn mẫu CV của bạn.

Mẫu 4

Bạn có thể thiết kế mẫu CV theo khổ dọc, tuy nhiên nếu có nhiều thông tin cần thể hiện, bạn cũng có thể phân bố chúng theo khổ ngang hoặc vuông để chứa được nhiều thông tin hơn, lại không phải làm thành 2 trang. Thông thường các nhà tuyển dụng chỉ dành thời gian tầm 30 giây cho một CV nên nếu làm quá 1 trang rất có thể nhà tuyển dụng sẽ không muốn đọc CV của bạn.

Mẫu 5

Sử dụng các màu sắc chủ đạo cũng là một cách để tạo điểm nhấn cho CV của bạn. Như trong mẫu CV này sử dụng màu tím đậm – tím nhạt làm concept chính

Mẫu 6

Trong các mẫu CV đẹp, bạn có thể làm nổi bật phần kinh nghiệm làm việc của mình lên bằng cách thiết kế dạng timeline, cột mốc thời gian. Theo nhiều thống kê, kinh nghiệm làm việc và lịch sử các công ty từng làm việc là phần mà nhiều nhà tuyển dụng chọn xem đầu tiên trong CV của một ứng viên. Vậy nên, làm nổi bật phần này sẽ là một điểm cộng rất lớn cho bạn.

Mẫu 7

Thiết kế mẫu CV đẹp theo dạng Infographic – sử dụng nhiều hình ảnh biểu tượng thay cho nội dung cũng là một gợi ý không tồi. Tham khảo thêm bài viết: Cách làm infographic đẹp và sáng tạo

Mẫu 8

Một mẫu CV muốn gây ấn tượng thật ra không cần phải quá sáng tạo hay phá cách, bạn chỉ cần trình bày các nội dung rõ ràng, với bố cục hợp lí. Ví dụ như mẫu CV này, bạn sẽ thấy trong đó có chủ yếu là các dòng text ngắn gọn và các đường gióng chia các phần riêng biệt với nhau, còn lại là các khoảng không gian trống giúp tạo sự thanh thoát và đỡ “ngộp” cho CV của bạn.

Mẫu 9

Bạn cũng có thể thiết kế CV đính kèm theo thư xin việc (bên trái) hoặc portfolio của mìn để cung cấp nhiều thông tin chi tiết hơn cho các nhà tuyển dụng quan tâm. Tham khảo thêm: Portfolio là gì? Tổng hợp các mẫu portfolio đẹp và sáng tạo

Mẫu 10 

Bạn không nên làm CV quá nhiều trang, tuy nhiên, trong trường hợp muốn làm nhiều trang, hãy phân bố và dàn trải các thông tin hợp lí, ngắn gọn, súc tích. Như mẫu CV 4 trang bên trên được thiết kế như vậy hoàn toàn dựa vào ý đồ của người sở hữu.

bitch

She'd text me just to turn offf the lights ,lock the gate and clean her plate. Madly saying"alam mo ga pa dede ako tps matutulog ka nlng wla ka man knh initiative"?? Well she's always mad for petty reasons. Too many things to hide so I don't blame her. As if she's just usinh her phone again duh.I just wanna have a longggg schedule then be home really late and get up early. I know that even though I'm really tired all those dishes will be piled up in sink or she'll text me in the morning "wla kanh utang na loob slam mong busy ako sa lalake ko (pag dede ky zoey) 😑. I don't like it when I know something. It makkes me feel really bad about this family. How I wish I could turn things upside down.

[lastofthe20thcenturygirls]

maomao is so perfect like she respects the man who raised her will always listen to what he says. doesn't feel emotions strongly. hates her biological father just because. is forever loyal to the consort she served. loves money. bought a gift for that one girl who always shared gossips with her as she couldn't afford it herself liked seeing the girl happy and adored her as a lil sister even shed a tear when read her letter. is extremely good at connecting the dots. is always worried about that child consort and her heart was warmed to see the child found someone who cares for her. would harshly judge you if you didn't think the celestial nymph eunuch wasn't the most beautiful creature in the whole of creation. would run to save someone's life even getting punched wouldn't stop her. doesn't get affected by all the hanky-pankys that goes around her. might even give you her important hair stick if you are important to her. cares about her three sisters so much she'll make sure they end up with the kind of men they prefer. would hold a grudge against you if you chose her birth mother instead of her sister. very chill. can just casually wonder about the size of boobs of women the same way she always wonders about the missing equipment of the eunuchs. always thinking about abortion medicines is always making abortion medicines. loves experimenting with herbs and poisons. loves eating snakes would be extra happy if you locked her in a room with snakes as a punishment. wants to give birth once because she wants to eat her own placenta. very open-minded. always gives it her all

[lastofthe20thcenturygirls]

i often think about the time ah-duo invited jinshi to drink with her and then just left to chill at the top of the palace walls on her last night in the rear palace talked to maomao about her baby son leaving her. lady your son was there at your invitation why did you leave him alone like that? no wonder the boy has so many issues and none are his fault 😭

[lastofthe20thcenturygirls]

(ln8 spoilers) jinshi thinking except for my godly looks i am just average and then his smartass goes and kills around five birds with just one brand. someone whose status is so high that even his name can't be said by anyone except the emperor jinshi branded himself with the crest of the empress vowing loyalty to her assuring her he doesn't wants to take the place of her son. one-upping his "bro" with this who refuses to let him leave the line of succession wouldn't let him become a commoner doesn't wants to let him become a servant to the royal family. only slaves get branded and if this ever got out there will be chaos in the court. gyokuyou tho considers jinshi like a brother and he did swear loyalty to her but if she ever tried to cross his family her clan's brand on his body would be enough to prove her as an adultress which would be bad for her and her clan.

and jinshi did this in front of these two people and maomao so now she is the only one who can see him naked and the emperor cannot order him to marry anyone which was something that was definitely gonna happen had he not done what he did. as a bonus he gets to spend more time with maomao after a long time and he did all this while saying the exact words: empress gyokuyou, your enemy i shall never be in front of maomao reassuring her because she once muttered i don't want to be an enemy to empress gyokuyou and he had heard her but before he could tell her that he had no intention of doing that either he couldn't because of the lishu incident. one of the major reasons maomao hadn't accepted her own feelings for jinshi one of the obstacles he promised to remove for her. even though he doesn't even know that maomao's concerns about her becoming gyokuyou's enemy had to do with his birth secret his true status. that no matter what he is the rightful successor. something jinshi himself isn't even aware of and yet without knowing that he did this to deal with it all in a single way most preferable to him: masochism

[lastofthe20thcenturygirls]

lakan is written to be annoying he does not gives a single fuck how he's perceived unless you're luomen or maomao. he let jinshi think he forced himself on that courtesan. he told jinshi that he should think about how can a courtesan's price could be lowered and left. he never even finished the story. he was mad at jinshi for getting to maomao before he could so he went there to jinshi's office everyday to bother him and also to move the pawns (aka people) across the board to stop the assassination attempt at a certain high nobility. lakan dislikes jinshi yes but he's not a traitor ffs. when lakan and fengxian slept together it was consensual. fengxian did not tell him she was going to get pregnant and drive down her value. they hadn't slept together before that and fengxian was a courtesan who wasn't selling her body so the whole verdigris house took a hit when their number one courtesan got pregnant. it was fengxian's plan lakan didn't know. none of them confessed their feelings. he did not abandon fengxian after sleeping with her. luomen's case was why his father decided to send him away he actually thought he was gonna be back in three months. that dumbass just didn't realise why her contract deal fell off that she was pregnant that she loved him. same guy who would years later think that meimei was being nice to him only because of guilt and wouldn't realise she had feelings for him. just la clan being bad at these things it's almost like it's genetic

lakan is written like that. you're told he's a freak that maomao avoids because he wants to buy maomao. jinshi reached the conclusion regarding fengxian same as the most of us (unless somebody spoilt it for you) and maomao's hatred for him added to that conclusion. but it was all on purpose writing-wise and character-wise too. the actual story of his is told to us but not jinshi. he doesn't minds if jinshi keeps on thinking of him as a piece of shit yk. what i am saying is that lakan is meant to be read or watched that by going through a range of emotions. hating him is fine still. most characters in the story aren't his fans either. they just avoid him he's that kinda guy but the "he ruined maomao's mother's life" isn't a great take sorry. fengxian's life took a tragic turn but it's more because of circumstances than just one individual. and not like she didn't cut maomao's finger off in her frenzy. there are good enough reasons for why maomao feels how she does towards them both

[lastofthe20thcenturygirls]

lakan going to the most expensive brothel in the capital to play board games with their most expensive courtesans who were both in love with him and maomao offering virgins to jinshi in that same brothel when she was well aware that he was just there to see her
